Former Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland, who resigned in 2002 after it was discovered that he used $450,000 in church funds for a settlement with a man with whom he once had a relationship, won't be relocating to St. Mary's Abbey in Morris Township after all, according to The New York Times.

The 82-year-old former Archbishop, who is about to release a memoir, had led the Benedictine order and was invited by the monks at St. Mary's to retire there, the paper said. But he told The Times "they were getting very worried about the situation because of what they thought would be negative publicity. So I withdrew my desire to go there."

The monks at St. Mary's run the Delbarton School, a Catholic boys prep school.
